This is the Hornet Hoverfly (Volucella zonaria), which has a thing about resting on my foliage in bright sunshine. Or …
… resting and cleaning itself clinging to the back of one of my hanging baskets, sheltering from the rain.
To learn more about this relaxed fly please visit the Hornet Hoverfly page.
Love the side view of this hoverfly … you certainly have the knack for capturing detail, Pete.
